Screen materials are the substances used to create the surface of projection screens. Common types include matte white, high-gain, and silver materials, each designed to reflect light differently. Matte white screens provide a neutral surface for accurate color reproduction, while high-gain screens enhance brightness, making them suitable for well-lit environments. The choice of screen material can significantly affect the viewing experience. For instance, ambient light rejecting screens are designed to minimize the impact of surrounding light, improving contrast and clarity. Understanding these materials helps users select the best option for their specific projection needs.
